Trumpet in Paris
In Paris you may very well find a trumpet teacher and his student practicing out in the open. like it was the most normal thing to do.

Bubbles
Each morning a young man arrived with his bucket, a bottle of soap, some laces and a cardboard sign explaining that he was trying to collect money in order to go to Australia. After a couple of weeks he changed it to Canada. No matter where he he was going, his bubbles attracted both kids and parents. Hopefully he got away at the end of the summer. To Australia. Or Canada.

A Vibrant Democracy
The road was blocked by 30-40 policemen in riot gear, preparing for something.
So, I approached a police officer and asked what it was all about.
“Monsieur, you are in France. In France there is always someone who is dissatisfied with something. Always. C’est la France. And each Saturday there is always someone who will protest in the streets. So, we go there and make sure that they can protest and that their protests do not turn into violence. When it’s over we all go home to our families. And then we meet up again next Saturday.”
Democracy at it’s best?
